Turnout for the 50th Annual Stiles Farm Field Day was encouraging. The day started off with pouring rain that kept folks out of the sticky Blackland fields, but the skies cleared, the temperatures moderated and farmers and others interested in production agriculture viewed the latest in equipment, production practices, weed control, varieties and livestock management.
It’s a continuation of what the research farm has done for the last 50 years. Research projects include studies on cotton, corn, wheat, grain sorghum, sesame, sunflowers and occasionally vegetables.
